It follows the silver and white 911 Speedster that was unleashed back in June during Porsche's big 70th anniversary shindig in Stuttgart.
Porsche plans to build exactly 1,948 Speedsters as a reference to the first Porsche 356 that officially rolled out way back in 1948.

The two-seater's body is based on the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet and sits on a 911 GT3 chassis with cross-spoke 21-inch wheels similar to ones found on the RSR and GT3 R racecars.
The concept packs a 4.0-liter flat-six engine that delivers over 500 horsepower and the engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Porsche says the 911 Speedster will be the first car to be offered with its new Heritage Design Packages.
The open-top car sports carbon-fiber fenders, "Talbot"-shaped mirrors, titanium tailpipes, and black-chrome and platinum fuel tank cap on the center of the hood. Window frames have been shortened and there's a double-bubble cover behind the seats.
Instead of a drop-top, the Speedster comes with a Tonneau cover that is fitted by Tenax buttons. If it rains, we recommend faster speeds and a full face helmet. Inside the cockpit receives a beautiful black leather interior with red highlights.
Porsche says the Speedster's Guards Red paint is a shout out to the 1988 911 Speedster. Too cool.
